Limiting access to pages

[Lyners]

I have an application that runs over our intranet. I have some pages I only
want "Administrative" people to see. I thought one way of doing this was to
creqate a sub directory in the application dorectory and add a web.config
file that would limit access to only those that we want as admin. But when I
created the sub directory and moved the aspx pages there i got an error
stating;

Description: An error occurred during the parsing of a resource required to
service this request. Please review the following specific parse error
details and modify your source file appropriately.

Parser Error Message: Could not load type 'Application.SubDirectory\WebPage'.

What is the correct way to add a security layer like this, and what is the
appropriate way to move files to sub directories and have them run? I think
it has somethin to do with the code behind.

Lyners the error you are getting doesn't seem its related to security issue
but compilation issue..
Pls elaborate.

Hi Pat, Thanks for the reply.
I figured out what I wanted to do. I added forms secuirty to the
application. I added users to a SQL Server Database and then had the
web.config point to a login screen where the user is prompted for a userid,
password. if it is a valid password then it alows them access to the web
pages in the directory. If not, well they get the login page over and over
again.

This works for what i am trying to do. Part of my error was my coding. But I
have learned a little and know have me application up and running.

Thank you.
